Gianluigi Donnarumma was central to PSG’s treble-winning season, producing key performances in the Champions League, Ligue 1 and Coupe de France.
He was the starting goalkeeper throughout the 2024/25 campaign and played a decisive role in PSG’s historic first European title.
Despite his importance on the pitch, PSG are now facing a contract standoff with the Italian international.
Donnarumma has rejected the club’s latest contract renewal proposal after they reportedly offered a new contract with a fixed salary of €7m [$8m] and €3m [$3.5m] in performance bonuses.
Donnarumma is currently earning €10m [$11m] at the French club in fixed salary.
The situation is worrying club officials who, after losing Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer last season are unwilling to repeat the same mistake.

With Donnarumma entering the final year of his contract, this summer presents the last window for PSG to earn a fee with multiple interest from Premier League and Turkish side Galatasaray.
PSG make their move as Ligue 1 talent
In the background, PSG are already preparing for what comes next. According to reports from L’Equipe and Foot Mercato [via VIPSG.FR], head coach Luis Enrique personally contacted Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier over FaceTime to share his vision and explain the project at the club.
Chevalier, who is under contract until 2027 and was named Ligue 1 Goalkeeper of the Year, was convinced by the conversation and has now told Lille he wants to leave.
Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is leading the negotiations himself, and PSG have internally approved an offer of around €40m [$46m].
It is being even reported that Chevalier has also reached an agreement on a five-year deal with the Paris club.
Lille are now searching for his replacement and If final talks proceed without problems, Chevalier will become PSG’s first major signing of the summer.
